wheres that Captain Obvious picture when you need it...?

Yeah really.

What happened to the milkshakes?

I think that's what we all really want to know. They were the victims here.

But the whole thing of trying not to spill milkshakes....well, I just hope you are more careful if you package anything to send in the mail. They're not going to always obey the "This end Up" sign or the "Do not mutilate" label. Putting something liquid in an insecure place like the front seat and then expecting to do nothing but go perfectly straight on a perfectly smooth road just doesn't work. Once you start to make even the smallest turn, the liquid will begin to shift to one side - this will just further the shift of the center of gravity. Sploosh. Get a cup holder. And if you're going to make any fancy maneuvers, just be aware that two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time (quantum physics experiments aside).

Don't you love how reflexes get you into trouble like that?

Did you drink the milkshake while waiting for the police? 😕

That was a stupid thing to do.

This isn't that bad, I talk to people every day that do seriously retarded things with their finances, I wish I could beat them into fiscal soundness.


Sounds like a pretty good driving record though, 6 years and no problems, everyone is human and make mistakes, jeez, not like anyone got hurt here, except the milkshakes.
 
yeah, that sucks. driving w/milkshakes is a roadhazard. It's tough, but I always let stuff spill and screw up my car, rather than taking my hand off the wheel. Take out is risky business.

lol. For some reason I find the image of that very funny.
 
You=Moron and that is all I have to say...well except for one thing. What happened to the milkshakes?
 
I would have driven off...


but i'm an a-hole....

I concur, you are an a-hole. 🙂

Accidents suck, freebee.. I know all about high insurance premiums. :Q State Farm dropped me and didn't tell me until three weeks after the fact.. our insurance agent "forgot" to inform us. Anyways.. chalk it up to experience and learning and mvoe on 😀 Good luck!
 
man, you must just love getting flamed, since I have no idea what other reason you would have for telling everyone on OT what you did. congratulations. 🙂
 
File a lawsuit against McDonalds. It worked once. 🙂

Still, stuff happens. File it under lesson learned and move on. Screw the "perfect" members that have the holier than thou attitude. "Oh, I would never hit a parked car.... blah blah blah"

Hope things work out.

He thinks hes cool by saying how cheap the tsx is.

Jeff, you also drive an SUV? Brush guards?
I dobut you were going 5mph... You might think you were, but its highly unlikely.
2nd. You might think its all fine and everything, but somebody could've got seriously hurt...

1 word comes to mind. STUPID.
 
Originally posted by: t60I agree. Some stupid woman hit me while she was hitting her daughter. Rearended my Honda. Didn't sue though 🙁 Should have, but I didn't even have her number. She wrote down 6 digits.

Gee, if it's 6 out of 7, you could just dial it a maximum of 10 times before you get the right person. Of course, if she started with her area code... 🙁
 
No different than the people who swerve to avoid a squirrel/cat/dog/whateva, kill the damn thing dont risk your life or someone else's life.

People COMPLETELY freek out if there is a bee in the car, suck it up, if you arent allergic you will get over a bee sting faster than a concussion.

And, CIGARETTES the damn things are gonna kill you sooner or later, if you drop one on your seat/carpet PULL THE FCK OVER

Priorities and planning, dont put yourself in a position where you have to make those decisions in the first place, but sh|t happens, so when it does, choose the good of the many over the good of the you...............

hit me and those are assult and battery charges where i'm from.....here comes a fat countersuit(if you file claims for your car).......while it was a stupid thing.....what would hitting accomplish.....way to go moron ogre...

 
Wow, some of you people's attitudes towards mistakes are hypocritical at best. Like you guys have never done anything stupid while driving. Get off your high horses. No, I have not ever had an accident that was my fault, and the one I did have that wasn't my fault happened as I was going straight and someone turned left five feet in front of me, but I don't think I am above stupid mistakes like some of you do. Crap happens, cut the guy a break.

Not only would I hit you, but I would take a crap on your hood and in your driveway. After that I would repeatedly assault you anytime I saw you.
